Earthquake Forces The earthquake causes acceleration to the foundation of the dam. The acceleration is.
{"Image DocumentName": "Earthquake ForcesThe earthquake causes acceleration to the foundation of the dam. The acceleration is.", "Image ImageDescription": "Horizontal acceleration. The horizontal seismic coefficient is taken as 0.03 to 0.24 at the top of the dam reduced linearly to zero at the base. Horizontal acceleration equals to 0.1 g to 0.15 g is sufficient for high dams in seismic zones. Horizontal acceleration causes inertia force and hydrodynamic pressure. Inertia forces. Inertia force = \uf06c W. Where, W = weight of dam. g = acceleration due to gravity. \uf06c =earthquake intensity (acce. Coeff.)= earthquake acceleration/gravity acc.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
